Divi Little Bay Beach Resort

Divi Little Bay Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"Very nice vacation. Rooms were fine, bed very uncomfortable and listed as a king size but definitely not. We had the one bedroom suite, kids said sleeper bed very uncomfortable. But overall rooms were clean and comfortable. Beach was absolutely beautiful. Water was amazing. Seaweed came towards the end of the trip, nothing the hotel can do about that of course, but they didn’t clean it off the beach. As long as you put your stuff out before the cruise ship people came there was no issue getting loungers. And the cruise people were fine, they did not make it feel crowded. My only real issue with the stay was that the buffet never opened all week and it was forever Italian night, menu never changed. We went the first night and although there was only one other table it took over two hours. Food was very good though, better then most hotels that are all inclusive or all inclusive option. There were other options, but having a lack of quick options became annoying. Staff were mostly nice. There were a few that were annoyed at your presence, but most were pleasant. Wendy at the pool bar was great and the guys at the beach bar in particular were great. There was pretty much zero night life and not a lot to do after dinner. Not a big deal to me as I was part of a large group, but could be boring to some. We were told thst it was their off season and thongs would start picking up the week we left. Overall I would recommend and I would definitely come back!"
